Well it looks like Mrs. Trudell may have to keep working after all. In a statement of defence to a $3.7-million lawsuit filed by Raymond Trudell’s family in October, the board says Trudell was “verbally abusing” and “deliberately provoked” another pupil before he was injured Sept. 23, 2008.
There's always to sides to a story and it's finally nice to hear the other. Kids are kids, it's very unfortunate it happened but it did and the board is not at fault. The idea of suing for a kids scuffle in the playground is crazy. Forgive people, you are Catholic. I'm sure the other child has gone through enough punishment with this media circus going on.
The lunch supervisors do a great job considering most of them are volunteers. If you look at the number ratio of coarse they can not watch over every child, it's impossible. Children should be taught at home about how to stay out of trouble and verbally abusing people is not the way. Maybe the board should go after the parents, verbal abuse is a form of bullying is it not?
My point is that this is unfortunate and my heart does go out to Raymond and I do wish him a speedy recovery but that's it. This is a case involving Children and they learn by their errors. There is no fault on the School Board, it's just not right. The Trudell's story doesn't really seem to hold water in many points they had made. Play the Lotto if you want a chance at a large sum of money and DON"T USE YOU KIDS!
